Apple Butter Glazed Chicken

I love simple food. I love food with both simple ingredients, simple flavors and a simple cooking method.

I also love to explore with food and mix and match ingredients that I have on hand…and this is how this one came to be. I had some apple butter in the pantry and decided it would be delicious on chicken…with a few smoky additions.

Bake this and serve it with some simple sides…like dinner rolls or some rice, and veggies or salad.

Simple, simple, simple.

(This would also be fantastic with pork chops!!!)
